Retro is a culturally outdated or aged style, trend, mode, or fashion, from the overall postmodern past, that has since that time become functionally or superficially the norm once again. The use of “retro” style iconography and imagery interjected into post-modern art, advertising, mass media, etc. It generally implies a vintage of at least 15 or 20 years.
The word “retro” derives from the Latin prefix retro, meaning “backwards” or “in past times” – particularly as seen in the words retrograde, implying a movement toward the past instead of a progress toward the future, and retrospective, referring to a nostalgic (or critical) eye toward the past.
Retro fashion is back. Many new designers are inspired by the 50’s 60;s or 70’s and many more are direct copies from the past. It has never been a better time to look to retro. Many things come in circle. Retro and vintage items are becoming even more fashionable. A large percentage of people that consider themselves to be in the retro subculture, are inspired also by the type of music the lifestyle, television programs even objects and all these result as to have that unique way of looking and acting. However there are people that just enjoy the retro look and are not influence by other retro categories.
